Surge Protectors and Power Strips: Safeguarding Your Devices with CableLeader
In today's technology-driven world, protecting your valuable electronics from power surges and spikes is crucial. CableLeader offers a comprehensive range of surge protectors and power strips designed to keep your devices safe while providing convenient access to multiple outlets and USB charging ports.
What are Surge Protectors and Power Strips?
A surge protector, also known as a surge suppressor or outlet extender, is a device that safeguards your electronics from damaging voltage spikes and surges. These can occur due to lightning strikes, power grid fluctuations, or even electrical appliances turning on and off. Surge protectors act as a barrier, diverting excess voltage away from your connected devices, preventing costly damage or data loss.
Power strips, on the other hand, are primarily designed to provide additional outlets, allowing you to connect multiple devices to a single wall outlet. While some power strips offer basic surge protection, their primary function is to expand the number of available outlets for your convenience.

Can you use a power strip with a surge protector?
It is generally not recommended to "daisy chain" or connect a surge protector to another power strip or surge protector. This practice can overload the circuit and create a potential fire hazard. Instead, it's advisable to plug your devices directly into a high-quality surge protector with multiple outlets and built-in safety features like a circuit breaker.
Which is better, surge protector or power strip?
If you need to protect sensitive electronic devices from power surges and spikes, a surge protector is the better choice. CableLeader's 6 OUTLET SURGE STRIP 250J PLAS offers up to 250 joules of surge protection and a built-in circuit breaker for added safety. However, if you simply need additional outlets to power multiple devices, a basic power strip can serve that purpose.
What should not be plugged into a surge protector?
While surge protectors are designed to safeguard electronics from power fluctuations, it's important to avoid plugging in high-wattage appliances or devices with heating elements, such as:
- Microwave ovens
- Toasters
- Hair dryers
- Slow cookers
- Space heaters
- Coffee makers
These appliances draw a high current load that can overload and damage the surge protector. Instead, plug them directly into a dedicated wall outlet.
How do I know if I have a power strip or surge protector?
To determine if your device is a surge protector or a basic power strip, check the specifications printed on the unit. Look for information about surge protection ratings, such as the joule rating or maximum spike current protection. If these specifications are not present, it is likely just an extension cord or power strip without surge protection capabilities.
